Phasmophobia has announced its first seasonal event for the year, announcing Cursed Hollow. The limited-time Phasmophobia game mode is set to present players with the community challenges they’re accustomed to, as well as personal challenges.

Phasmophobia typically holds seasonal events for holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. Exactly what the events entail differs from year-to-year, but the events typically task players with finding a number of totems or objects related to the holiday.

Phasmophobia: Scariest Ghosts, Ranked

Phasmophobia is home to an array of terrifying entities; here are the scariest ghosts players can come across in the game.

Starting on April 17, Phasmophobia players will be able to participate in the Cursed Hollow seasonal event. On select maps, players will be haunted by a Forest Spirit, and in addition to the usual tasks of identifying the ghost and completing optional objectives, players will want to locate totems. Collecting said totems changes how the Phasmophobia ghost behaves, with Kinetic Games stating that some effects can benefit the player, while others make the game harder.

Phasmophobia Cursed Hollow Improves Seasonal Event Formula

The developers of Phasmophobia have noted that they’ve heard the feedback of players loud and clear regarding recent events, and have made a number of adjustments to how this one works accordingly. Maps impacted by the seasonal event will rotate daily, giving players a more varied experience. The event will only last for three weeks, instead of a full month, and rewards have been split into two categories.

Previously, the community as a whole needed to complete the event tasks in order to unlock new player ID cards and upgrades. While Cursed Hollow will feature a community reward, it will also feature a personal goal that only counts the efforts the individual player has made. Players will also automatically claim any unlocked rewards upon logging in prior to the event’s end. Following the event, there will still be a lot on the Phasmophobia development roadmap, not just for 2025, but for further into the future.

With this upcoming update, the game will have launched two things the roadmap promised, including the Bleasdale Farmhouse overhaul, which dramatically changed the look of the house and the surrounding space, and the Easter seasonal event. The developers have also promised a brand-new small map, updates to Grafton Farmhouse, player character overhauls, and a new method of gathering additional ghost evidence called Chronicle. Chronicle will introduce new tools, like an audio recorder, and new methods of using existing tools, like the video camera. 2026 is also promising new maps, interior reworks, and the long-awaited Horror 2.0 update that should dramatically shake up the experience.
